Converting WGS to latitude and longitude in QGIS?

Question

How do you convert the WGS coordinate to latitude and longitude?

Have you read this post? Converting x y coordinates to longitude latitude using QGIS? — Joseph, Oct 30 '19 at 12:49
Coordinates in WGS84 are already lat/long. This must be something like a UTM coordinate based on the WGS84 datum — radouxju, Oct 30 '19 at 14:38

Create new columns of type text with the following field calculator code:

to_dms(x(transform($geometry,'EPSG:source','EPSG:4326')),'x',3)

This gives you the X-coordinate in DMS-format with 3 decimal places. For the Y-coordinate just exchange both x for y.

Also, exchange the "source"-part in EPSG:source with the EPSG-code for the CRS your data is in.
